Seite v - Xftbograpbic plates, THE object of this book is to describe the modern practice of Bridge-Construction, and to set forth in the simplest language the mechanical principles and experimental facts on which it is based. The design and arrangement of the work have been dictated by a desire to render it as useful as possible, not only to Engineers or Draughtsmen who may be engaged in the work of Bridge-Calculations and Bridge-Construction, , but alsoto students.

Seite 373 - In an ordinary spectronometer, if the grazing angle 6, is determined by the position of the reflected beam of X-rays these errors may be either positive or negative, according to the position of the axis of rotation of the crystal with reference to what we have called the effective reflecting plane. Further, they may increase or decrease with the wavelength of the rays, and in limiting cases the size of the crystal would have an effect on them. Our method of using the spectrometer eliminates these...
